According to comments made by René Obermann, CEO of T-Mobile USA may start offering the iPhone as soon as later this year or early 2011. The iPhone has been a really popular device since the first time they launch it. Now that agreedment between AT&T and Apple will be end, T-Mobile is looking forward to carrying it. But T-Mobile is now focusing on Andriod devices like the new Samsung T959, (or Behold 3) and possibly an new LG phone that just recently passed FCC with AWS bands.
Is the iPhone coming with AWS 3G bands? … T-Mobile and other few carriers are the only ones that use AWS 3G bands. For that reason, we doubt that apple will make a new iPhone only for those carriers supporting 1700/2100 3G bands. We just hope the iPhone will arrive on T-Mobile’s network, with only EDGE or 3G..

The rumors are becoming real news. T-Mobile is moving to a third parties partners like Clearwire to get more spectrum for the new 4G services. Rumors of a joint venture with Clearwire originally surface last September when Bloomberg reported that T-Mobile was in talks with Clearwire in a negotiation that involved a cash investment from T-Mobile USA parent Deutsche Telecom in exchange for access to Clearwire’s growing 4G network and spectrum resources
Because T-Mobile USA has been losing customers, to larger as well as smaller rivals, there was a rash of speculation last year about its future, with possibilities ranging from a merger with Sprint, Leap Wireless International Inc or MetroPCS Communications Inc, to a network partnership with Clearwire Corp.
Routers asked whether T-Mobile USA would consider teaming up with U.S. competitor Sprint Nextel, Dotson said: “What you never want to do is take one company that is going through challenges and take another company going through challenges”.
We have to wait until the official news to see that is going to be T-Mobile’s new plan.

T-Mobile announced that the webConnect Rocket USB Laptop Stick, the first HSPA+ device for the U.S., will be available beginning on Sunday, March 14. HSPA+ is interesting because it could enable 4G LTE-like speeds using existing 3G infrastructure.
The device is branded the WebConnect Rocket USB Laptop Stick, and will initially be sold in Philadelphia, where TMo has recently upgraded to the 7.2Mbps iteration of HSPA. While AT&T is avoiding the HSPA+ step, planning to move straight to LTE from 2011 onwards, T-Mobile does not have new spectrum for 4G and is set to pursue a longer HSPA+ path, possibly topped up with a WiMAX or LTE partnership with a spectrum holder like Clearwire.
The webConnect Rocket USB Laptop Stick retails for $99.99 with a two-year contract and an Even More webConnect data plan. $60 per month gets you 5GB, while $30 gets you just 200MB; both charge 20 cents per megabyte over that. Another new option, Even More Plus webConnect, drops the annual contract and lowers the monthly prices by $10 in each case, but raises the up-front price of the modem.
Features after the jump
By: t-marco March 10th, 2010
First we heard that the HTC Desire will hit AT&T in May/June, and now, according to Androincia, a manager at a T-Mobile USA store was being trained on several phones that are coming to the carrier this year, and the HTC Desire Android phone is on the list. They also said that they contact other T-Mobile employees and they said that their manager’s are off for training.
It seems that the device in question comes with a large touchscreen display, which means that it might not be the smaller Motorola CLIQ XT, but the name is still unconfirmed. For what it’s worth, considering that T-Mobile already has the Nexus One on its airwaves, there are great chances that Desire will also land there, especially since the two phones are basically the same device. However, previous rumors suggested that other carriers in the US would receive it, and this remains in the rumor side until further confirmation emerges.
Just rumors guys.. stay tuned for more information
